Bochum Welt

Bochum Welt is the project of composer and producer Gianluigi Di Costanzo. The name Bochum Welt is a combination of the German word for "world" (welt) and the name of a high-powered astral telescope. His first single, Scharlach Eingang (1994), was released on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label and attracted the attention of the British music magazine NME, which ran an article claiming that Bochum Welt could be a ghost project by Aphex Twin. Over the following years, Aphex Twin released eight Bochum Welt records on Rephlex and included his tracks in the label's two compilations.
